The Importance Of Exercising Your Brain For Mental Health

Your brain, if you don’t use it, you will lose its keen functionality. Before you know it dementia will be on your doorstep and all those years of taking the easy option will come back and bite you on the bum. Exercise your brain to keep it fit and game ready. Read to expand your knowledge and mind. The importance of exercising your brain for mental health cannot be overestimated.

Read Books To Know More & Exercise Your Brain

Big Tech does not care about your wellbeing; they are only interested in taking your money. Making everything easy and so convenient is dumbing us down and filling their pockets with billions. Read books to know more and to exercise your brain. Stay sharp by not filling your head with crap. Knowledge is power. Do the hard yards mentally yourself and reap the rewards. Going to the gym can be good for your whole body but too many are exercising the wrong muscles and neglecting the grey matter between your ears. Admiring your physique in the mirror will not save the world or do you a lot of favours in the end. Beauty fades but smarts last for a lot longer.

Reading Makes You Smarter

Reading is a completely different mental process from watching videos. You think about stuff more and spend longer processing the words and their meaning. Ruminating on important stuff makes you wiser. Your brain will last longer and you will not be a drooling case in need of 24/7 care before your time. Reading material that makes you think, like essays and other non-fiction publications, will advance your mental capabilities to another level. Nothing else can do this for you, which is why reading has stood the test of time. The world is getting dumber but you can be an exception to this. Stand out from the  stupid crowd. Reading makes you smarter, not watching videos. Easy come, easy go! Think about that truism for a moment, what do you think it means?

Golf Is The Thinking Person’s Pastime

“Here are 5 reasons why golf is the thinking person’s pastime. Moving about on a large grassed maze and plotting the strategic pathways of a small white sphere, as it seeks to visit eighteen holes of golf in the least number of strokes is a thinking person’s pastime. This is no off the cuff performance. This is no mad charge up a rugby field. This is no micro-managed pool table. This is life at large upon the big stage; equipped with fourteen sturdy clubs with which to do battle with a largely unseen foe. Practice swings are the stuff of wishful thinking. The only real go you have at it must be strictly counted each time on a scorecard kept in pocket.”
